P2/3 Xeon processor on regular P2/3 motherboard?

[DamnedBrit]

I was looking at getting a Dual P2/3 motherboard and was wondering whether I can trick it at all into using the Xeon CPUs. It's a Tyan BX m/b that takes two P2/3s up to 600Mhz, would be nice if I could stick Xeons in there instead.

Thanks for any light that can be shed.

Pentium II and Pentium III XEONs use the Slot 2 form factor. They are 330 pin massive cartridges and won't fit in the regular 242 pin Slot 1 boards.

Thanks for the amazingly quick response, I'll save my pennies and stick with regular.
